ACRP30-Targeted Antidiabetic Drug Development Services

ACRP30-Targeted Antidiabetic Drug Development Services

ACRP30 (adiponectin), a key hormone secreted by adipocytes, plays a central role in regulating insulin sensitivity, suppressing inflammation, and improving glucose and lipid metabolism, making it a highly promising target for antidiabetic drug development. Ace Therapeutics provides preclinical professional services covering targeted ACRP30 drug development. From target mechanism studies and high-throughput screening of ACRP30 agonists/modulators, to structure optimization and efficacy validation, to preclinical pharmacokinetic and safety evaluations, we help our clients accelerate the development of innovative drug candidates.

ACRP30 as A Potential Antidiabetic Drug Target

Research indicates that serum protein ACRP30 (adiponectin) plays a key role in the pathophysiology of metabolic disorders, while TNF-α serves as a primary pro-inflammatory mediator contributing to insulin resistance. Studies further demonstrate that reduced ACRP30 levels are observed in numerous obesity and diabetes models due to elevated TNF-α, revealing an inverse correlation between this protein and diabetes. Notably, ACRP30-deficient mice develop insulin resistance leading to diabetes. Consequently, increased circulating ACRP30 levels enhance insulin sensitivity and improve glycemic control, establishing ACRP30 as a potential therapeutic target for diabetes.
